by Josef Václav Sládek (1845 - 1912)

Před spaním
Language: Czech (Čeština) 
Už vyšel bílý měsíček
a ztichla celá zem,
a na tisíce hvězdiček
hle, bdí nad jejím snem.

A já jdu nyní spáti též
tak šťastně, vesele —
a celou noc mne ochraňtež,
vy, boží andělé!

Confirmed with Spisy básnické: Souborné vydání ve dvou dílech, Praha, J. Otto, 1907, page 161.
